Can a Landlord Force a Tenant to Cohabitate with a Roommate in the same home
Full Question:
My son who is a recovering alcoholic rents a mobile home. His landlord wants to allow another party who has a drinking problem to move in with my son. My son's rent is paid, he has never been late. My son told his landlord he does not want this party moving in with him nor does he want him on the property. The party who has the drinking problem keeps calling my son telling him he has permission to move in. The landlord states the mobile home is his property and as such the law is on his side.

Answer:
If the son has rented the mobile home, how can the landlord require that he allow someone else to also reside there. If there is a written lease it needs to be consulted. If there is no written lease the terms of the oral lease need to be considered. If it cannot be resolved, maybe the son needs to find another place to live.
